Ok before i start i aint totally clued up on electrical jargon and my
domestic electrical knowledge is limited, so please bear with me.
Was at my mums house when her RCD tripped. I isolated all the 3 MCB's. 1 for the garage, one for sockets and one that was labelled cooker.
I turned each one on individually and when i switched the cooker one the RCD would trip but not the MCB.The only way i could reset the RCD is by turning the MCB labelled cooker off.
I found that the dishwasher, washing machine, hob, fridge and extractor fan were all off this MCB. I unplugged all the appliances and tried to reset the MCB but as soon as i did this the RCD tripped.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be. My only other concern is that there is another appliance wired into this circuit that i couldn't isolate. Their kitchen has been totally re done and to be honest i think the wiring is a complete disgrace.
